ACROSTICS.
Charles H. Spurgeon.
DIED JANUARY 31 ST.
IN MEMORIAM.
Cloud upon cloud of sorrow
Has swept across the land,
And still the dreaded reaper
Rests not his awful hand.
Low lies the well-loved preacher,
Earth ill can bear his loss;
Silent that voice whose teaching
Has swept across the land,
And still the dreaded reaper
Rests not his awful hand.
Low lies the well-loved preacher,
Earth ill can bear his loss;
Silent that voice whose teaching
Hath glorified the Cross.
Steadfast in mind and purpose,
Preaching the gospel of love;
Used were his talents, not laid by
Rusting, his life doth prove.
Great-hearted warrior of Jesus,
Enjoy thou thy rest divine;
On earth thou hast nobly done thy part,
Now heavenly joys be thine.
Preaching the gospel of love;
Used were his talents, not laid by
Rusting, his life doth prove.
Great-hearted warrior of Jesus,
Enjoy thou thy rest divine;
On earth thou hast nobly done thy part,
Now heavenly joys be thine.
